Alisha's POV
As I felt the touch of Louie's hand on mine, a sense of comfort washed over me. His reassuring presence and his promise to protect me brought relief to my anxious mind. "Thank you, Louie," I responded with gratitude. "Thanks to you for noticing the strange smell on me and reminding me. It means a lot."Louie's smile remained gentle as he spoke, "Theresa, based on what you've shared, both the music director and the strange man you encountered seem highly suspicious. I believe it would be best for you to give up pursuing this job. And if you ever come across that strange man again, remember to run away immediately."I nodded, understanding the importance of his advice. "It's highly unlikely for Director Benefield to offer me this job, so you needn't worry about him. As for the strange man, I think he is a kind man, but I doubt we'll cross paths again. It's funny how things have turned out. Initially, I was frustrated by the interview's failure, but now, witAlisha's POVAfter enjoying a delightful lunch with Louie, I returned to the Golden Crest in the afternoon. The job interview had been a letdown, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. But spending time with Louie had brought me an incredible sense of happiness and fulfillment.As a werewolf, I felt like I had failed in certain aspects, but as a singer, I found success in connecting with others through my original songs. This gave me great courage to leave the Golden Crest-I am able to work as a human singer to support my life with grandma.This newfound fulfillment and acceptance from others made me seriously consider a different path in life.As I settled down on the sofa, lost in thought, my phone rang, jolting me out of my reverie. I answered the call with curiosity, "Hello?""Theresa, it's Benefield!" The voice on the other end sounded with a pleasing tone, "I am deeply sorry for what happened today. You are an outstanding singer, and I am thr
Alisha's POVSeeing Erma's insincere face, a wave of profound disgust washed over me. Why did this woman have to come to my house, invading my sacred space? I had no desire to let her appear before me, tarnishing the little peace I had left.I shot a quick glance at Erma and turned to Mireya, my anger evident in the intensity of my voice, "Who let her in? Ask her to leave immediately, and don't allow her to come near me again!"Archie frowned at my words, his tone now tinged with both concern and unhappiness, "Alisha! What's gotten into you? Erma just wants to talk to me about something important. Why did you send her away like that?"I looked at Archie's once incredibly alluring face, feeling the weight of my emotions on the verge of spilling over. I wanted to ask him if he had ever truly cared about me, even just a little, with a mistress right in front of his wife, walking into my home so easily. But I couldn't bring myself to expose my vulnerability in front
Alisha's POVFinally, I made a decision. I would treat this journey as a part-time job – finish it, get paid, and leave here. Surprisingly, adopting this mindset brought some calmness to my emotions. I was determined to focus on my music and my own growth, no longer allowing myself to be consumed by the turmoil of my past.The next day, as Mireya and I descended the stairs with my suitcase in tow, I was taken aback by the sight of Suzy standing in the living room. Suzy, our Pack's Gamma, was an imposing figure, exuding strength and authority. Her bronze-toned muscular physique was a testament to her exceptional skill as a warrior and her crucial role in the training of werewolves in the Golden Crest."Luna, the Alpha ordered me to accompany you on this mission," Suzy declared at the sight of me, her voice flat and cold.Grateful for the protection Suzy would provide, I hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about Brad?" I had been under the impression
Alisha' POVThe distressing images kept assaulting my senses, and I couldn't distinguish reality from the nightmarish hallucination. The pain in my head intensified, and I couldn't control the surge of emotions and fear overwhelmed me. My body trembled, my heart pounded in my chest, and I let out a strangled cry, unable to comprehend what was happening.Brad and Suzy exchanged concerned glances as they tried to assess my condition."Hey, Luna, are you alright?" Brad's voice broke through the chaos, filled with concern. After he pulled over the car, Suzy reached out to touch my shoulder, trying to anchor me back to reality."No! Stay away!" I screamed, pulling away from her touch. The panic inside me intensified, and I felt like I was losing my grip on sanity.Suzy quickly withdrew her hand, not wanting to exacerbate the situation. "Luna, you're safe. It's just a vision; it's not real. Take deep breaths and focus on my voice." Brad tried to comfort me.
Alisha's POVAfter hearing Uncle Joey and his daughter Evita's conversation, a surge of anger ran over my body. It was obvious that they had also come to Blood Dawn, but Evita and Joey were just ordinary guests, uninvited and thus ineligible to attend the formal ceremony. No wonder she was so furious, but to insult my mother so casually, Evita must pay the price for her actions. Despite losing my childhood memories, I would never allow anyone to disrespect my family. Feeling much better now and regaining some strength, I got up and walked to a window near the garden, hiding behind the curtains as I secretly observed what they were up to."Evita!" Uncle Joey's stern voice stopped her in her tracks. He cautiously looked around, seemingly concerned about being overheard by others. I quickly hid behind the curtain. After a while, feeling safer, Joey spoke seriously and in a low voice, "How many times have I told you! Do not mention anything about Alisha's parents ever again!"Evita seem
Louie’s POVI arrived at the Blood Dawn early, hoping to meet Archie and his wife to have a chat and get to know them better. However, I ended up waiting for Archie in the VIP lounge for two hours, and he still hadn't shown up.My messages to Theresa remained unanswered, and I figured she must be busy. Bored to the core, I found myself drinking alone in a corner, forced to overhear various trivial gossip from the other guests."In a little while, the succession ceremony will begin, and we'll have the chance to meet the Alpha of the Blood Dawn. They say he's ruthless and incredibly powerful, often leading teams to hunt rogues in the Dark Forest. He's a king with an iron fist.""Yes, I've heard about his prowess. He perfectly inherits his mother's gifted bloodline. Having such an Alpha guarding the Dark Forest in the North gives us a sense of great security.""But personally, I think the Alpha of the Golden Crest I is even more formidable.""I heard that the Alpha and Luna of the Golden
Alisha's POVUnder the veil of night, I stealthily trailed behind Joey, leaving the garden behind. He skillfully avoided the crowd, coming to a quiet clearing that faced a dark and terrifying forest. Although I was unfamiliar with this place, the eerie and dreadful atmosphere emanating from the forest confirmed its sinister reputation as the legendary Dark Forest.I felt terrible scared to stay close to this ominous forest, and the air itself seemed to thicken with an overwhelming darkness. As I gazed at the foreboding forest from afar, it felt as if a heavy boulder pressed against my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My head pounded, and a dissonant ringing filled my ears. Clutching my wedding ring tightly, I sought strength from it, almost like a talisman. Surprisingly, my blurred vision began to clear, and the screams in my mind subsided, as if the ring itself held some mysterious power.Joey hesitated in front of the Dark Forest, his eyes scanning the inky ex
Alisha's POVDesperation gripped me as I tried to run as fast as I could to escape the danger lurking behind me. But with every gasping breath, I knew it was futile. The foul stench from the wolf's mouth invaded my senses, a chilling reminder that I was already within its hunting range. As its sharp claws pierced my back, a surge of agony surged through my body, and I realized that there was no way I could escape this ruthless predator.Just when I thought all hope was lost, a sudden howl pierced through the darkness. A figure as swift as a sword flew past me, soaring through the air and clamping down on the wolf that had attacked me. The two ferocious beings tumbled on the ground, raising a cloud of dust in their wake.As I struggled to recover from the impact, I saw the newcomer, a majestic wolf with a dense coat of pure white fur. Its coat shimmered like liquid moonlight, and its eyes held an intensity that sent chills down my spine. It stood before me, fiercely gu
